High metal exposures after wildfires may affect lung function

High metal exposures after wildfires may affect lung function At a Glance After the Maui wildfires, researchers found a link between exposure to higher levels of metal mixtures and worse lung function. This finding suggests the importance of longer-term contaminant testing and health monitoring to assess exposures following wildfires. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/high-metal-exposures-after-wildfires-may-affect-lung-function
